Which of the following Python type-conversion functions converts a character…

Concept

Python’s built-in conversion functions accept particular input types and produce particular representations.

ord(s) maps a one-character Unicode string to its integer code point, while chr(n) performs the reverse mapping.

Application

1. The stem asks for a mapping from one character to an integer code point.

2. Apply the character-to-code-point function: ord('A') returns 65.

3. Therefore the function required by the stem is ord().

Contrast

• tuple() constructs a tuple from an iterable.

• dict() constructs a dictionary from mappings, key–value pairs, or keyword arguments.

• set() constructs a set of unique elements from an iterable.

Cross-check

Reverse the example: chr(65) returns 'A', confirming the code-point mapping.

Result

The required function is ord().
